Transfer Files between SQL Server and AS/400

Download it  There's a small VB zip file and a small .TXT file. View the .TXT file on line to see if it suits your purposes (.TXT is also included in the .zip).

VB5 or VB6. You need to know at least a little Visual Basic.

No e-mail address or any info is asked.

General Info:

This program is used to transfer AS/400 files to SQL server and vice-versa. It demonstrates how to go directly from one ODBC connection to another. It uses a trick - make a connection to an .MDB file and then ignore it.

Since it uses ODBC, it's a little slow. Don't count on this to automate your data warehouse. It's more of a utility that can be used to upload, say, a list of JD Edwards address book entries and then update JDE files from there. Or output a world writer to your library and send it directly to SQL server

There's also a button that sends an Excel spreadsheet to SQL server. We didn't have time to "pick" the Excel file, so you'll see it's a little awkard, but simple in that way, and easily modified.

This application has NOT been made commercial friendly. You have to hard-code your ODBC parameters (the text file shows you how). Then you can modify it for use in your organization.
